T’s first walk (today with L) on the Helm in months/years.Route: from home, up through the station, past the Station Inn to the back of Helm road. Along this as far as a flood, making a forlorn attempt to go round it up on the bank to the right. Turning back to a handgate onto the Helm and up to the tarn, then up the low shoulder of the ridge and back to the pub for a pint. Then home through the underpass.
Conditions: a surprisingly brilliantly sunny day at the very end of January.
Pub: the Station Inn, Oxenholme, for Taylor’s Landlord.
